Display Post Under Top Level Categories

Resolved

Requested: 7 years and 2 months ago

Hi i’m pulling my hair out and really thought your plugin would resolve what i need.

I have a custom taxonomy called resourse categories, all i want is for the sidebar to display all my categories and all the single posts that belong to the category. The only time posts are shown is if they are in a sub category under the parent category. I thought by clicking the checkbox ‘Display assigned Resources under Resource Categories’ all posts would be shown whether or not they belong to parent or sub categories.

  1. The Url i supplied shows the menu on the left, the category ‘disease in wild tigers’ has 4 posts associated with it that i want to display under the category, the ones underneath all have child categories and they are showing the posts

  2. Hi Tamara,

    This option to display posts under the highest level category is currently slated for version 3.5.0 of this plugin.

    In the meantime, if you add the following filter to your active theme’s functions.php file, the posts will display under the parent categories as well as sub categories.

    add_filter( 'advanced-sidebar-menu/menus/category/get-list-categories-args', 'posts_under_parent_categories', 10, 3 );
function posts_under_parent_categories( $args, $level, Advanced_Sidebar_Menu_Menus_Category $menu ) {
   if ( Advanced_Sidebar_Menu_Pro__Widget_Options__Category__Display_Posts::instance()->checked( Advanced_Sidebar_Menu_Pro__Widget_Options__Category__Display_Posts::NAME, $menu->get_widget_instance() ) ) {
      $args['walker'] = new Advanced_Sidebar_Menu_Pro__Walkers__Display_Posts( $menu->get_widget_instance() );
   }

   return $args;
}

    Have a great weekend!

  3. OMG!!! Thankyou soooooooo much! You’re an absolute star, so many times and with other paid plugins i’ve asked for something and been told no can do or pay us to add the functionality. If there;’s a link to add a review send it over and i’ll write one.

  5. Hi Mat,
